Product Information
Inspired by the classic horror comic book series, HBO's TALES FROM THE CRYPT brings Hollywood's top directors together for a gruesome series of morality tales. Walter Hill's THE MAN WHO WAS DEATH tells the unfortunate story of Niles Talbot (William Sadler). Employed as the man who flips the switch in the electrocution chamber, Niles is shocked to discover one day that the state has overturned its death penalty, leaving him jobless. Unable to bear the thought of seeing guilty defendants run free, Niles takes matters into his own hands, becoming a vigilante executioner until fate catches up with him one night. Robert Zemeckis directs AND ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE..., which opens with a conniving wife (Mary Ellen Trainor) putting an ax through her husband's head. When an escaped mental patient (Larry Drake) dressed up as Santa Claus stops by to pay her a visit, she thinks she's got a perfect excuse for the murder. But Santa doesn't die easily, ruining her plans at a lucrative inheritance. Finally, Richard Donner's DIG THAT CAT...HE'S REAL GONE recounts the final days of Ulric (Joe Pantoliano), a bum who is propositioned by a mad scientist. Inheriting the gland that gives a cat nine lives, Ulric eventually realizes that he doesn't have as many as he thought he did. Funny, gory, and clever, this first volume is a must for horror fans everywhere.Product Identifiers
